Stress Release Meditation Retreat
Most meditation practices teach you how to focus and calm the mind, Inner Walk teaches you how to be with the chaos inside your mind and the outside environment, so you can experience true peace, whatever the circumstances. Inner Walk meditation practice aims to help you understand suffering; the confusions, delusions, and projections that the human mind is prone to. Then, it teaches you how to release that suffering.
The Inner Walk practice allows the space to connect to yourself by walking in silence for four hours a day, four days consecutively. Your packages start at six days, and gives full access to our BetterLife Yoga and Meditation program. The programs are accessible to all, from absolute beginner to experienced practitioner.

Program
BetterLife and Buddha
Although Loyfa BetterLife Retreats is not strictly a Buddhist focused program, it is grounded in the basic principles of what the Buddha taught over 2,500 years ago about life’s sufferings and how to end those sufferings.
Removing the religious elements, they have swayed focus to “The Four Noble Truths” and “The Eight Fold Path”. The Four Noble Truths state that life is suffering, but that there is a way to end suffering. The Buddha prescribes the “Eight Fold Path” as the guideline to bring you closer to ending your suffering.
The Eight Fold Path
- Right understanding
- Right intent
- Right speech
- Right action
- Right livelihood (career)
- Right effort
- Right mindfulness
- Right concentration (practice)
